graphics

[obair81 at comcast.net]

Can anyone answer these basic graphics questions (or point me to a place where I can get answers)?

- If one is given a jpeg from a photo shoot, if it is accidentally converted to a bmp instead of a tiff, can one open the bmp and save it as a tiff (assuming the jpeg is no longer available), and still get the various advantages offered by the tiff format?

Thanks for any help.
